Ezekiel 8
English Standard Version
Abominations in the Temple
1 In the sixth year, in the sixth month, on the fifth day of the month, as I sat in my house, with the elders of Judah sitting before me, the hand of the Lord God fell upon me there. 2 Then I looked, and behold, a form that had the appearance of a man.[a] Below what appeared to be his waist was fire, and above his waist was something like the appearance of brightness, like gleaming metal.[b] 3 He put out the form of a hand and took me by a lock of my head, and the Spirit lifted me up between earth and heaven and brought me in visions of God to Jerusalem, to the entrance of the gateway of the inner court that faces north, where was the seat of the image of jealousy, which provokes to jealousy. 4 And behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, like the vision that I saw in the valley.
Ezekiel 9
Idolaters Killed
1 Then he cried in my ears with a loud voice, saying, “Bring near the executioners of the city, each with his destroying weapon in his hand.” 2 And behold, six men came from the direction of the upper gate, which faces north, each with his weapon for slaughter in his hand, and with them was a man clothed in linen, with a writing case at his waist. And they went in and stood beside the bronze altar.
3 Now the glory of the God of Israel had gone up from the cherub on which it rested to the threshold of the house. And he called to the man clothed in linen, who had the writing case at his waist. 4 And the Lord said to him, “Pass through the city, through Jerusalem, and put a mark on the foreheads of the men who sigh and groan over all the abominations that are committed in it.” 5 And to the others he said in my hearing, “Pass through the city after him, and strike. Your eye shall not spare, and you shall show no pity. 6 Kill old men outright, young men and maidens, little children and women, but touch no one on whom is the mark. And begin at my sanctuary.” So they began with the elders who were before the house.
2 Peter 15 For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue,[e] and virtue with knowledge, 6 and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness, 7 and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love. 8 For if these qualities[f] are yours and are increasing, they keep you from being ineffective or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 For whoever lacks these qualities is so nearsighted that he is blind, having forgotten that he was cleansed from his former sins. 10 Therefore, brothers,[g] be all the more diligent to confirm your calling and election, for if you practice these qualities you will never fall. 11 For in this way there will be richly provided for you an entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
ObservationGOD will punish those who do not obey HIM, and HE will deal harshly with the rebellious, and the only way to be obedient to GOD is to love GOD and so I understand why HE commanded us to love HIM with all our hearts, minds, soul and strength. It is the only way for us to completely be obedient to HIM. No matter what we do for GOD without pure love and devotion that HE commands of us to do for HIM we cannot do anything more for HIM because it is HE who enables us to do things. We are completely nothing without HIM.
ApplicationLove is the element that I have been desiring from a husband the most. LOVE, I am hungry for love and I understand now why GOD has allowed me to feel so hopeless because of love because HE wants me to understand how HE feels towards the people HE is showing me, HE is helplessly in love with people, it hurts HIM, it affects HIM and caused HIM to sacrifice HIS only Beloved Son YESHUA. I have become helplessly in love with someone who does not love me and wow the pain is real! But GOD does not want me to be helpless anymore, maybe in the past HE wanted me to understand how HE feels but because HE loves me too, HE wants to secure me with HIS love and no longer feel insecure or helpless. So today I work with GOD by praying for the person whom HE made me to love, I pray for Stephen and Benita relentlessly. I keep praying for the deliverance of people who are held captive by HIS enemies. I will love GOD continually by working with HIM and carrying the burdens in HIS heart with HIM because I love HIM, I love those whom HE loves and pray for those HE is calling. HE is calling everyone and because I am limited, I can only love and pray for the ones HE has assigned to me.
